No. TB is an air-borne infection caused by bacteria, not a genetic trait. However, TB can be passed from mother to child if the mother has TB in her uterus/vagina (rare), or more commonly, as soon as the baby is born and is breathing shared air with the mother/father.
Even though TB is not inherited, as such, people can be inherently susceptible to the disease. Environmental factors may also have an impact on what actually triggers the infection to become the disease. See "Is Susceptibility To Tuberculosis Acquired or Inherited?" presented by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine (PubMed) for specifics.

How does the body defends itself against the TB bacteria?
The immune system attacks the foreign antigen as if it were any bacterial infection. The B-cell lymphocytes mark the TB with antibodies that helps it remember the bacteria in the future. The macrophage then consumes the TB bacteria and keeps it latent, and the TB is unable to infect the body or be contagious. However, if the immune system fails to contain the TB, or it becomes weakened by age, malnutrition or another disease like AIDS, the TB bacteria can escape and infect the body, which is why people can get TB during old age or without a TB infected person coming in contact with them.
